Converting System C into System C2

[TulioAdriano]

With the prices of a System C2 soaring on eBay, I thought I would give this a shot.

I made a blog post about my experience with the conversion. I hope you enjoy the read.

If you already read this post you may want to read it again... it now has a happy ending! 😁

Hi @TulioAdriano. I hope you didn't start from scratch as someone else had previously described publicly the whole process.

[EDIT]
I read your post, you fell in the same pitfall regarding the reset signal. I have saved the original conversion procedure should it be needed.

[EDIT 2]
Found the thread! Thank you wayback machine.

Well that's nice, it even has a complete component list. 😅

Yeah I definitely started from scratch, but it was a lot of fun going through that process.

Ah ah. My vision of things is there are unfortunately too few people with technical expertise in the hobby and I feel it's a pity time is "wasted" in redoing the same things again when it could be spent on new things.

For instance I'm hoping for a full Konami sound module reproduction but people just seem to like copying each others design with today 6 different uncomplete repros.
